Chapter 1158: The Story of Ling and Heng (421)

Feng Ling stood in place with a frown. "There were people on the other side of the river just now, so I went over to check up. I don't think Ji Nuan would make a sound to attract the enemy's attention. There seems to be only one possibility, that is, those people had early ambushed there, ready to launch a sneak attack at any time, but caught Ji Nuan by mistake."

"Boss, what should we do now?" K stood up holding the gun. "We've gotta save her quickly."

After a moment of silence, Li Nanheng said calmly, "Guard every exit and entrance of the jungle. They are still lurking and dare not make any sound to attract our attention. Although, unlike us, Ji Nuan is not from XI Base and is not strong enough physically, if she is smart enough, she will be able to protect herself. She should be safe for the time being. K, you guys come in with me first."

With that, Li Nanheng glanced at Feng Ling again. "Wait here. Don't be impulsive. Don't rush in to save Ji Nuan alone."

Being seen through, Feng Ling looked at him and Li Nanheng gave her another warning gaze, then turned and walked inside with a solemn look.

——

The next day.

Feng Ling changed into a close-fitting black outfit, with two silencer guns on her waist. She squatted down to tie her shoelaces and placed the glinting dagger in the scabbard beside her boots.

"What are you doing?" Just when she finished tying up her shoelaces and got up, suddenly a pair of black leather boots stopped in front of her.

It was Li Nanheng's voice.

Feng Ling didn't look up, fixed the dagger beside her boots, and touched the guns at her waist. Then she stood up and looked deadpan at the cold-faced man in front of her. "Ji Nuan has been taken away for a day and a night. I must go in to save her."

If it were not for Li Nanheng's warning last night, she would have gone in last night.

"How can you get in? Step on the minefields?" Seeing her so impulsive, Li Nanheng chilled his voice. "Don't you know the situation around the jungle? If the mines here can be cleared as easily as those in the Snake Valley, we don't have to stay here for so many days. There are full of minefields here leftover from the war decades ago, including the new ones made by those people. You'll probably be blown into pieces before you find her! Do you want us to go in and collect your remains?"

Feng Ling frowned. "She was caught when she was with me. Whether from the perspective of Mr. Mo or the perspective of me as her bodyguard, the responsibility lies on me. Even if I'm blown into pieces, I must take her back intact."

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to find her even if you're dead," Li Nanheng scolded coldly.

"Mr. Mo holds the secrets of the arms dealers. In addition, those people have always been afraid of the pressure that Mr. Mo once put on them, so they dare not touch him easily. But Ji Nuan is different. She doesn't know those people, not knowing how cruel and violent they are. It is normal for them to kill without blinking!"

"She is pregnant, so she will know how to protect herself. It's like throwing an egg against a rock if you rush in alone now," Li Nanheng said. "I know that you are worried about Ji Nuan. You two have been good friends after staying together for so long, but Feng Ling, remember that you are a member of XI Base. Have you forgotten the rules of the base?"

He didn't mention his feelings for her but the base's rules.

Feng Ling looked at him coldly, not speaking a word.
